Concord Timet.
The Mill Nflws, the well-known
textile publication of Charlotte,
tl.e subscription pried which has
a! ways ben $1.00 a year, au-
nouncRH in its last Issue that be
ginning Septemitcr 1, it will be
increased to $1.00.
The Mill Nuws is following an
example already st by force of
cire.umstances bv a nnmhor of
weekly paper' in varimn snc-
tions o! the :rnitrv. In many
sases whjr! thu irice has not
been increased tlie size of the
paiw?r lias been cut down. In
cases where the price haw not
been increased nor the size re
duced, papers hae announced
that the cash plan will be adopt
ed, and that subscribers in ar
rears will not be longer carried.
It will be remembered that the
papers referred to aie issued
only once a week. When the
paper is issued semi-weekly the
cost is almost doubled. It take
twice as much paper, twice as
much type-setting, twice as much
ink, etc., and the work in the'
mailing department is doubled.
There is verj little money in
a semi-weekly paper of any sise
or pretension for $1.50 a year,
and at $1.00 a year no paper can
be published without loss.

On last Thursday night tro
services of special interest were
held in town. Rev. Mr. Gay
spoke in the Presbyterian church
in the interest of National Pro
hibition and little eight year-old
Charlie Turner," of Florida,
preached in the Cora Mill School
Hoi' so. As the Herald fo.ee had
to work tilt afu-r one o'clock
trying under difficulty to get the
Herald out the editor missed
both services. Hut from all ac
counts the boy preacher had the
crowd. About forty persons
heaid Mr. Gay, who made a most
splendid speech. There were
tA'o roasons why Mr. Guy didn't
have any larger a hearing. First
the boy preacher wrs in town
a ik1 lots of lolks had a great de
hire to hear him. Second, the
bad taste left in the mouths of
the people by Sam Small at our
last temperance speaking had not
wholly disappeared. Wo under
stand that Mr. Gay's stylo was
attocether attractive Mid that he
made a most spleudid speech,
lit language wis dignified, his
illustrations clean and to the
point and his manner very be
coming. The boy preacher had
a great . audience. The school
building was full and the grove
roundabout and many went away
becau.n they could not ret in
hearing distance. The Herald
considers it very unfortunate for
the ctuse of prohibition that Suu
Small ever spoke in Kings
Mountain, for the retson that it
had the eftVt of cooling a lot of
enthusiasm prevalent here In
favor ot national prohibition and
made the people a bit suspicious
of every man who comes along
to speak on the sobject.

Mr. C. E. N ilsler, owner ot
the Pauli-ie Mill and superiu
tondant of four other mills here,
continues to to add to his sphtn
did outfit in tho northwestern
part of town. He has rebuilt all
that portion of his spinning mill
recently demolished by the storm
and has the machinery, in oper
ation again. He has added fifty
per-cent to the space, ot his
weaving mill and Is putting in
twenty-two new looms. Four
iree bungalows aro going up on
the property for the use o? em
ployes. These houses are much
better than the average mill ten
ant houRe. They aro equipped
witn two chimneys, water, lights
and sewerage, and when com
pleted will present the appear
ance of a modern small bungalow.
A new office building will short

Mr. Noisier does a higher
grade of work. He weaves no
thing hut table dainank and nap
kins. Heretofore he liw sent his
product to the North
to l-ave it bleached aud
finished but now he has some
in a bleachery at Gaffney, S. C.
as an experiment.' Mr. Neialer
tclli the Herald that the goods
in the Gaffney bleachery were
made of cotton grown in tho
county and it all promises hold
true some of it will be sold and
used in the county. Probably a
good deal will be sold and used
right in Kings Mountain. From
the cotton seed to tho table isn't
bad for our manufactories.
